Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur stated that the squad's drivers do not need to be "best friends" following an on-track incident between Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc at the Mexican Grand Prix on November 6, 2026. Hamilton publicly criticized his teammate after the pair made contact during the race.
Vasseur downplayed the significance of the spat, emphasizing that a strong working relationship is more important than personal friendship for the team's performance.
